Hello everyone. Valentines Day draws near. At our house that means the Heart Ball is soon to occur. This is the major local fund raiser for the American Heart Assoc. which is one of the charities which we support. I think DW and I are permanently on the steering committee. For the silent auction portion, I have been asked to put together “a survival thing” (how would they know I might be able to?). After some thought this is what I’ve got so far, pretty much assembled from stock on hand. The pack is pretty full, little room for additions. The target audience is “muggles”. Our largest disaster risk is the nearly yearly winter power outage due to ice storms, a small risk of tornadoes, and we will be on the fringe of excitement when the New Madrid fault slips. Any thoughts or comments welcome.
